Why didn't the Chinese succeed with the fifth modernization democracy?
Serhud [2]
It failed because China is a land of the proletariat and the ruling party is a communist one while the fifth modernization was about introducing democracy. Since the party represents the working class and the will of the people in theory, democracy is against it since it would enable those who are against the party to also compete which would in theory mean that they are against the people.

How does this excerpt relate to what you know about the “Lost Generation”?
tekilochka [14]
If the Lost Generation you mean is the poem of Jonathan Reed. It means that we can reverse our future into something better or worse than we ever imagine. We can be a part of change in either for the betterment or destruction and it's up to us to choose. In the poem it is stated the way we live our lives whether we choose to be part of the lost generation or be part of the betterment and the hope for the future.
If it is Lost Generation that is described to young men who fought in world war one. It means that after the war these young men become directionless and disoriented. It may also means the men who died fighting in world war one.
